Chernl, I read through the recipe and I think it would be fine to put it in raw cuz it's going to cook in the crockpot - especially on high. If you're more comfortable with browning it first, I think that would also be fine. If you do try this, be sure to put a review for in the Reviews threads so we'll know whether or not it's worth it for us to try! LOL We'll let you and your family be the guinea pigs!
Glad to see ya around! Have a great weekend!
Hugs & Blessings, Cassi <><
